Album Review
Let's Cut It: The Very Best of Elmore James rounds up 18 tracks from his Modern, Flair and Meteor recordings. These are generally considered to be some James' greatest recordings, and there's no denying that there are incendiary performances throughout the record that more than prove James' legendary status is deserved. A few alternate takes are thrown in that are more noteworthy for collectors than general listeners. Then again, fans who only want one disc of Elmore will be best served by Rhino's The Sky is Crying, which selects highlights from all of his many labels. This, in turn, is for fans who want to dig a little deeper than that set, since this contains the best of one of his best periods.

These Blues ain't got me Blue
by Penny_ LaneThis such a great album...really hits the soul!!!
This ain't yo' momma's blues, ya' dig.
by Tyler B. GoodeElmore James, man. I don't know where to start. He's produced some of the smoothest licks known to man kind. He has a very blues sound, but it's very Rock & Roll too, you know? Think of Sonny Boy Williamson and Chuck Berry cutting a record together. Just listen to "Wild About You Baby" and you'll see what I mean. I recommend this album to anyone looking for the (most) complete Elmore James experience.
A few people might be a little miffed by the omission of "Done Somebody Wrong", but there are other places you can find that number.
Cuts deep
by CofresiElmore James is the real deal. Let's cut it is recorded without apparent editing and James is heard leading the sessions and even starting over, as if playing in some back woods music venue. When you're in the mood for raw blues, this it. Excellent.
